This week, we celebrate leaders in science, innovation and integrative medicine along with passionate students who aspire to join the medical field.
Brendon Neuen who heads off our post is a resident medical advisor living in Sydney. Brendon is also a Visiting Fellow at The George Institute for Public Health, where his focus is kidney disease.
Although Naz Riahi doesn’t consider herself a “foodie,” she’s making waves in the food industry.
Together with her business partner, Emily Schildt (also interviewed on our blog), she co-founded Bitten, a food conference that focuses on food in the context of technology, pop culture and the environment.
Emily Schildt’s got everyone talking about food.
And it’s a pretty powerful conversation. Emily’s interested in food as it relates to personal identity– specifically how the food choices we make are reflections of who we are.
As Emily explains in our interview, the food space is changing–it’s being disrupted–and the future of food is going to depend on the quality of our conversations about it. Enter Bitten. Emily co-founded Bitten with her close friend Naz Riahi to bring together thought-leaders and innovators in the food space and discuss food as it relates to politics, art, culture and the environment.
Read on to learn how Emily’s perspective on eating shifted from vanity-driven to pleasure-seeking, why she encourages other founders to find a great partner and how she embraces awkward moments that push her out of her comfort zone and allow her to truly excel.
